It's a match made in heaven: Dance-rock band LCD Soundsystem is bringing back a pop-up of frontman James Murphy's acclaimed and very cool natural Williamsburg wine bar, the Four Horsemen, during their upcoming NYC concert residency this late fall, where anybody can be a drunk girl. LCD's 12 shows will take place at Queens venue Knockdown Center in Maspeth at 52-19 Flushing Avenue, at 54th Street in late November and run early to mid-December.

The natural wine bar and pizzeria in the Mission makes grandma-style pies using blemished or surplus vegetables, off cuts of meat, byproducts, and basically any ingredient that would usually end up in the trash. The results are rectangular pies with surprising topping combinations that keep things interesting. The somewhat sweet crust (made from whey and oat flour) with blackened edges might be piled with wilted greens, salmon belly conserva and relish, and pepperoni and ricotta fluff that tastes like whipped cream.

"We opened a pop-up version of [Only The Wild Ones] next to the Butcher's Daughter. It also has a cool selection of vinyl. We wanted to offer something to the community and share our love for natural wine."

"A lot of that food works because you're in Italy and you're in some beautiful city in some beautiful old restaurant... It felt weird being in Brooklyn trying to re-create that."

The Four Horsemen has carved out a niche in Brooklyn’s competitive dining scene with its focus on natural wines and a welcoming atmosphere, appealing to both customers and staff alike.

We weren't perfect, but it wasn't supposed to be,

“Then once we opened, people have just [had] honestly positive, amazing energy, and it's been busy, so that's a good thing,” said Gaga.
